[QUOTE="Debmcgee, post: 1062395, member: 107709"] I'm reading the Dr Bernstein book and may have had a lightbulb moment although I'm not sure and will need to test my theory before I say for definite but.... He's just said that in some diabetics, if you fast, your body panics and signals for protein to convert to glycogen as blood glucose is raised. This is what happens with the dawn phenomenon. I'm wondering if this could be happening to me but in a more prolonged way and during the day as well as night. When I've randomly only tested my bg before eating during fasting, I've always been surprised by how high the result was considering I'd not eaten since the day before. Carried on regardless but I don't think I've ever had a pre-food meal in the fives whilst back on track this time. Also weight loss has been slower this time, although I am still pleased with the results. So what I'm thinking is that I need to test: 1. Two weeks of 16:8 fasting - measure FBG, mid morning, before lunch, after lunch, before dinner, after dinner and at bedtime. 2. Eat breakfast, small lunch and dinner - testing the same as above but with brekkie too. Then I'll be able to see what suits me better. Only problem is to do all this testing which is hard at work... However, I could do it less scientifically during the school day. On both trials, I'd need to eat the same meal plan - that could be a little tricky too but I can only do my best. So I'm thinking to give it a go from tomorrow starting with three meals a day for two weeks. What do you think? I'd be interested in hearing your views.... X [/QUOTE]
